Roedelius - Selbstportrait I (soft music) ( 79 ^ 93mb)
Selbstportrait was recorded by Roedelius during various Cluster sessions between 1973 and 1977, so the music actually predates the two previously released solo albums: Durch Die Wüste and Jardin Au Fou. Selbstportrait was recorded during the quiet hours when working with Cluster, Harmonia and Eno. All this material was spread over 3 albums, this the first "Selbstportrait" (Selfportrait) is picked by Roedelius on the basis of entertaining, commercial dare i say, as creating interest would enable the release of "Selbstportrait II & III". He used the Farfisa VIP 600 and a drum and echo tool by Excholette and recorded it all on a Revox A 77, first generation hi-end electronic tools. The music came about spontanously, impressed by the land scape , a lazy sunny afternoon, pastoral images filled with the sound of nightingales and frogs all impressed Roedelius to open up and inspire him in the quiet hours to create this musik

Roedelius - Jardin Au Fou (79 ^ 74mb)
Jardin Au Fou was recorded from April through July, 1978 at Paragon Studios in Berlin, Germany. It was produced by former Tangerine Dream member Peter Baumann and released by the French label Egg in 1979.
A circus in the parc, Jardin Au Fou a garden of whimsy and odd delight, it is simple melodious keyboard music whose character is imbued with unexpected chord progressions that don't resolve in traditional ways, a naive rhythmic sense, and melodic lines that go where you least expect. Jardin Au Fou was the first of a series of albums where Roedelius ventured firmly into ambient music.
Note; The French record label Jardin Au Fou named themselves after this Roedelius album.

Moebius & Beerbohm - Double Cut ( 84 ^ 96mb)
From his early work with the pioneering Krautrock band Cluster to his later solo recordings, Dieter Moebius remained one of the most innovative and prolific voices in contemporary electronic music, anticipating movements from ambient to techno years before the fact. Moebius studied art in Brussels and Berlin and met there Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Conrad Schnitzler (Tangerine Dream). They founded a band Kluster in 1969. After the departure of Schnitzler, they changed their name to Cluster. Later Moebius and Roedelius founded the band Harmonia with Michael Rother (Neu!), which also collaborated with Brian Eno.
Roedelius and Moebius subsequently worked with Eno on 1977's Cluster and Eno and 1979's After the Heat as well; in the wake of 1981's Curiosum, however, they dissolved Cluster, with both pursuing solo endeavors.
Moebius' first subsequent effort was 1981's Material, a second collaboration with Plank (his proper solo debut, Rastakraut Pasta, had appeared two years earlier); together, they produced some of the most experimental recordings of their respective careers, creating harsh mutant soundscapes which over time gave way to the proto-ambient textures of 1986's En Route, their final work before Plank's untimely death. Concurrently Moebius also teamed with Gerd Beerbohm for 1982's Strange Music and 1983's Double Cut, both explorations of pure noise; meanwhile, with the solo album Tonspuren (also from 1983), Moebius clearly anticipated the emergence of techno. Apart from teaming with Karl Renzeihuasen in the duo Ersatz, during the early '90s he also reunited with Roedelius to revive Cluster.
